Ingenious! This is the best view bot I've seen ^_^

[@zzx13]

I first learned about VECTOR DISPLACEMENT MAPS from this video. I am very interested in this new technology because I have always worked with nomalmap!

[@phoerens]

Hey, normal map is fine for small objects or games, but the big and detailed stuff it's better to have displacement + normal map. The displacement will ad the most details it can(but don't overdo do it because it subdivided the geometry during tender) , but the last fine details can best be added with normal maps

[@zzx13]

@@phoerens Thank you for teaching me. I didn't study 3D much time. If I had made a character in this video, I would have made all those bumps into polygons. This is a very interesting way. And it seems very difficult...

This is amazing to be honest, your workflow is sooooo superrrrrrr!!!!! It's my humble request that you kindly show a step by step tutorial on how to you use these apps to achieve your final result

Thanks! You mean like on a smaller creature and a slower video?

[@ansahpoku5863]

@@phoerens Yeah, a slower video or a breakdown of a single app like maya, how you use it to model along with explanations of your step by step process and then a slower video or a breakdown on how you texture in substance painter and maya, and the rest of the apps you use.( What I'm talking about is basically a *tutorial*, explaining how to create a creature and texture it using the 3d apps you use)

followed the tutorial exactly right, but still different. Using trial version. Thank you*

I'm using the trial version of soft to learn the basics. How do I make a cool keyboard lody that isn't just a basic softing soft?

вобще молодец well done

how do you make it so that when you have multiple softs in your soft roll; you arent interfereing with another soft like accidentally

[@AshishKumar-hd4py]

its priceless. the slickness and the passion of the devs. priceless. what is cheaper and better than soft? Piracy is NOT the answer if you

The one effective technique I use is staying in touch with a financial coach for guidance, it might soft basic or generic, but getting in

[@crystallarissa]

This is really cool, weird question, what was the file size for this maya project?

[@sierracook3343]

You did good on your character! I love how we can shape these cool creatures from simple shapes. Mainly why I love 3D modeling. Also, question. Just curious, what kind of material did you use for your creature in maya?

[@phoerens]

thanks ! Yes sometimes for simple shapes it's better to just model it because in Zbrush you can often go too quickly into the details and the result won't be smooth.. And I used a redshift standard material. Basically for every render engine you use the standard material, it's the one that can handle the most things (sss, specular, refraction..)

[@sierracook3343]

@@phoerens So you did the materials in zbrush? Or in maya? I'm asking because I'm having trouble baking my maps from my highpoly mesh to my lowpoly mesh

[@phoerens]

@@sierracook3343 if you watch the video until the end you can see that I made the maps in substance painter, and plugged them into a redshift material in Maya. In zbrush i just made the highpoly mesh

[@sierracook3343]

@@phoerens Yeah I noticed. I've never done it that way before. I actually tried doing the high poly in mudbox. But it wasn't perfect when I tried exporting the high poly textures.

[@Gounesh]

Polygon modeling is like reverse retopology. Too much knowlage required! Well done

Cool artwork, sir!! May I ask if you have tutorials for Substance Painter? I have a model but I don't know how to texture it. I want to learn how to texture a model just like how you are doing. Im a fan 🙂.

[@phoerens]

Hey, not yet but soon 👍. This weekend I'll post a tutorial about the modeling and sculpting process between Maya & Zbrush, and the weekend after that one I'll release a tutorial about the whole substance painter process and rendering it

Dude,Your work is stunning!!! Just wonder how you get the facial rigging thing work without eyes...as far as I know, adv face rig won't work without eyeballs...

thanks ! I didn't really did a rig on my face. I added myself some bones for the tongue, but as you saw i modeled my character with it's mout open so his pose was pretty much done

[@erikmoreno8815]

The scales are a displacement map?

[@09lilkiller]

How long does it take to arrive at the end product? is 3 weeks a fair assessment?

[@phoerens]

not at all, I spent between 10 and 15 hours on it. However if this seems too fast to you, don't worry it's just because it's not my first sculpt and I make 3D for 3 years now ^^

I am just wondering why you are being so generous with your knowledge?

[@princessfaith9378]

[@IgorSenra]

how do i create a sequence?

[@dadangtriarsaputra3833]

how many fps you edit the fast this video?

[@davidsebek1967]

vector displacement is great in that you don't have to manually retopologize his scales. You can have a simple model that you apply a scale map to, but in the video you no longer show how you got the scales into the substance painter. They appear to be there as real geometry, which doesn't make sense.

[@phoerens]

Yeah I didn't show that,sorry. I actually just took the second or third subdivision from zbrush and used that as my substance painter model. That allowed me to still have the good uv's, and keep a preview of the displaced mesh Because if I textured with the flat mesh I couldn't know where to paint my textures on the extruded parts 😅

[@bara_abudhair]

awesome work man .. how long did it take you for each section ?

[@phoerens]

thanks a lot^^ Uhm hard to say, I think 2 to 3 hours for the modeling in maya, 1 to 2 in zbrush, same in painter. However I struggled a lot with setting up the vector displacement, I had never used it before so I spent a whole afternoon trying to make it work because at first it didn't lol

[@bara_abudhair]

@@phoerens So basically .. it should take 1 to 2 days to finish 3D art piece .. or does it depend on the project ? Like .. how do you know that you're taking enough time or too long to finish an art piece ?

[@phoerens]

@@bara_abudhair it really depends, this one took me a day, but I made other projects that took me weeks or even a month And it's quite simpel, if you want to show it on artstation, make good renders of it and show it on your portfolio, you should spend more time on it. The ones I make for this channel are not over detailed because I want to make one every week, so I basically have the weekend to make one and if I don't finish I work on it in the evening during the week But basically, it's finished when you're satisfied with it that's all that matters
